Chapter 131 Under the Agents of Imperialism

Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's official residence

The Ministers of the Three Kingdoms came together, and Chiang Kai-shek couldn't wait to have a secret talk with the three. (Except for the Chiang Kai-shek couple and translators, confidential secretaries, there was not even one extra person. The location of the talks was changed from the government conference room to the private residence of Chiang Kai-shek. The entire talks were conducted under a high degree of confidentiality. of.

The British Minister Lampson held his iconic big pipe and smoked good cigarettes. The British was the initiator of the talks. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the interests of countries in China, the three countries quickly reached an agreement. Unanimously, key government officials at various levels have discussed the implementation of related plans for up to a year.

Although the Soviet Union has conflicts with Britain and France in Europe, it does not affect the occasional cooperation in the Far East. Interest is the eternal pursuit of politics.

It can only be said that the southwestern forces represented by Zhang Shusheng broke into Guangdong this time and became the fuse for the three countries to interfere in China.

Western imperialism has always advocated the integration of underdeveloped regions into the world of civilization, but this process should be dominated by western civilization, not developed by Zhang Shusheng. What's even more abhorrent is that, except that the Germans are closer to the Southwest, this extreme nationalist seems to reject the olive branch thrown by any traditional western power, like the German moustache who may soon come to power, this hypocritical populist It is even possible to list the entire West as an enemy.

Mr. Lampson has on several occasions wanted to reach some kind of cooperation with the Southwest, for example, signing a "friendly" peace treaty, which not only expanded British interests in the Southwest, but also gave the Southwest huge benefits. In this way, the Sunburst Empire will cultivate a powerful spokesperson in the East.

It did n’t matter if there was a dispute, and it did n’t matter if it was an enemy. Rampson inherited the style of his predecessor and tempted everything with interests. However, it was this temptation of interest that was strictly rejected by Zhang Shusheng. Instead, he suggested that the two parties sign an equal trade agreement. .

Of course, this proposal was also severely rejected by Rampson. The stupid Southwestern leader could not understand the situation. Perhaps it was that small victory that stunned his head. Perhaps it was the barbarous and backward national inferiority that made it difficult for him to recognize the power of the West.

"Jiang, as we said before, the southwestern power represented by Zhang Shusheng is contrary to the long-term friendship between countries and China. Therefore, after careful consideration, we have decided to increase our support for you."

Rampson said solemnly as he added tobacco to the pipe.

"As China's traditional friendship country, we want to see people like Mr. Jiang dominate the whole China, or at least occupy a considerable area." Soviet ambassador to China Borgmorov is a typical Slav, exaggerated The bearded man did not affect his wisdom at all, and the whole man seemed quite ingenious. "If the agreement is reached, the three countries will jointly provide you with a large amount of funds, machinery and equipment, and even direct arms assistance. This amount will be You can't imagine it. "

"Mr. Lapson, Mr. Borgmorov, and Mr. Willidon. Although Zhang Shusheng occupies a part of the area, you should understand that the area I control is still China's richest, most densely populated, area The biggest place. I have established a military academy with hundreds of thousands of loyal troops. And, in response to the threat from the southwest, a corresponding expansion plan is also being formulated. "

When Chiang Kai-shek clearly saw the olive branch thrown by the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, the whole person was excited. It was also unbelievable that he was the leader of a party. With the strong support of the three countries, his dream of unifying China might not be so difficult. Neither Yuan Shikai nor the Prime Minister has ever received the support of the West in this way. His wife's several visits and lectures in the United States have not yielded much success. The Americans themselves are still in the world's biggest trouble, and their enthusiasm for China is much weaker than before.

Even the Northeast can succumb. With the joint support of various countries, perhaps the last stumbling block to the reunification of China will have to bow its head.

"No, no, Mr. Jiang, I don't think you are very clear about the current situation." French Minister Willidon heard Chiang Kai-shek's self-brave, and frowned, this secret talk is not a formal negotiation, such false boasting is It shouldn't be there.

"From our information, the most affluent place in China is currently the southwest. To be precise, it is Kunming-Dongchuan, Guangxi Guilin-Nanning Economic Circle. After years of development, Zhang Shusheng has built a complete southwest. Industrial foundation, completed the primary industry. He even owns some industries that reach the world's advanced level, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, machinery and automobile manufacturing, chemical industry, electronics manufacturing, clothing and food industry, etc. These products may be unknown in China, but in the West they are It is the darling of the rich. Even my home is full of 'Made in China' appliances and daily necessities. Damn it. "

Chiang Kai-shek has some words, and this nobleman in the Chinese political arena who is busy with political affairs does not know much about the Southwest. I just heard that Zhang Shusheng has established some modern industries and some foreign businessmen have invested in the Southwest. Looking back at Song Meiling, seeing the latter nodded slightly to him, proving the Minister's statement. This can't help but feel a little embarrassed. He is still too late to take office. These domestic conditions are not even as clear as those of foreigners. It seems that special task departments need to be strengthened.

Ram Pusson stabbed ashes in the ashtray. Chiang Kai-shek's ignorance did not surprise him. Strictly speaking, the West and Chiang Kai-shek were not much different, or it would not cause tens of thousands of British and French soldiers to be captured. Damn, tens of thousands of miscellaneous army, actually attacked Zhang Shusheng's powerful modern army with airplanes and tanks, but also deliberately hit Kunming within a month.

"Mr. Jiang, perhaps you should have a clearer understanding of the current situation in China. The rise of the Southwest has already had an unstoppable momentum. According to the analysis of the Imperial Staff, based on the current strength of the Nanjing government, when facing the Southwest, it will It will be a very embarrassing result. Therefore, we recommend that Mr. Jiang conduct a reform, from economic, military, and educational reforms. Like all Western powers, China needs to introduce modern industries, develop the economy, and build a modern army. Start a modern ordnance industry. "

Bagmolov nodded, adding: "This cooperation has been authorized by the government. Our first step will be to cancel the agreed tariffs covered by previous treaties, and a loan will be provided by the three countries at a preferential price. A large number of advanced machinery and equipment will help you strengthen your strength. "

Willidon added: "Reducing taxes, weakening social conflicts, and reforming education. These are the prerequisites for our cooperation. We want to see a politician who can stand in China, not someone who will be defeated by Zhang Shusheng. . "

Lampson: "If the cooperation is reached, the first batch of arms and materials will be shipped to China from Hong Kong, Outer Mongolia and other directions within three days. What we need is a clear plan for your reforms to complement this plan for revitalizing the East . "

Jiang Jieshi stood up slightly, no matter how he imagined, he did not expect such a result. The Three Kingdoms have prepared such excellent conditions for themselves, joint loans, machinery and equipment, assistance in building arsenals, and even direct arms assistance. Why did the faces of Western powers become so friendly overnight?

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek is not the raging figure in a dozen years later. He can only say that he has great ambitions but is still growing. A messy political situation, but the dawn of seeing the olive branch suddenly thrown by the Three Kingdoms, "These conditions It looks very good. What price does the Nanjing government have to pay? "

Since it was a secret talk, Chiang Kai-shek did not go around anymore.

"The interests of all countries in China must be guaranteed. In addition to cooperation in economic fields such as railways and mines, the British Empire will have some limited requirements in the Yangtze River Basin and China-India border areas."

"We are concerned about the situation in Outer Mongolia and hope to have more cooperation with the Nanjing government on the issue of developing Xinjiang."

"The French Empire has reached a certain consensus with Japan. We will participate in some economic affairs in Shandong and surrounding areas."

Chiang Kai-shek froze slightly. Sure enough, the Three Kingdoms were not lambs, but wolves carrying sheep at their door. These executioners did not even pause when they asked for their greed.

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that from the words of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, he felt a little tacit understanding, that is, the Three Kingdoms will jointly support themselves and expand their power.

Sure enough, Rampson continued, "For the current chaotic situation in China, our three countries have already felt disgusted. Mr. Jiang must arm more of the fast-track troops as soon as possible, train modern troops, and eliminate some disobedient warlords. Our The fleet will do its best to help your military operations, even up the Yangtze River. "

Chiang Kai-shek was completely shocked and stood up completely. In his original plan, it was mainly based on softness and exclusion to resolve some disobedient forces. But now, military operations will be unavoidable.

Borgmorov emphasized: "Mr. Jiang, you must know that a strong and united Nanjing government is what we need."

Lampson: "For the military security of the Nanjing government, our joint fleet will guarantee the security of the coast and even the north of the Yangtze River. Although the southwest has good military strength, it does not have a strong navy. It is necessary to disclose that, Our plan even includes a significant number of air forces in Nanjing. "

Seeing that the Three Kingdoms only put forward some "reasonable requirements" and did not force himself to sell the country too much, Chiang Kai-shek was still very excited. He did not mind borrowing the power of the West to strengthen his rule, while fighting against cooperation with the Germans. southwest. Zhang Shusheng can draw on the power of the West. Why ca n’t I Chiang Kai-shek make long-distance and close-off attacks? In the worst case, I can rule the river by myself. Therefore, I am happy to say: “Thank you very much for the cooperation plan proposed by the three countries. I think we will cooperate happily. , Detailed plan, I think we need more professional people to talk to experts from the three countries. "

"Jiang, you have a beautiful lady who is a successful family man. I think you will also be a successful man politically."

After seeing that the purpose of the trip to the Three Kingdoms was initially achieved, Lampson was in a good mood, and even joked.

The plan to aid China was put forward under the circumstances of the strong rise of the Southwest. The borrowing will be mortgaged by railway construction, mining, taxation, etc., while industrial assistance will be purchased from home countries with loans provided by the three countries. In this way, the Nanjing government that has supported Chiang Kai-shek has also stimulated the three countries to a certain extent. Chaotic economic situation. As for cash, the three countries can't afford much. Although the impact of the economic crisis on the three countries is not as severe as that of the United States, it is also damaging.

It was also at this time that the Ministers of the Three Kingdoms Cai Cai initiated this cooperation plan to prevent the expansion of the power in the southwest, strengthen the strength of Chiang Kai-shek, further open the Chinese market, and conduct further crazy plunder from this huge raw material market.

Politicians have also become increasingly clear that China should have been a huge market, but because of excessive poverty, backwardness, and chaos, it has been difficult to maximize Western interests. Only a moderately developed China with a strong purchasing power is in line with Western interests in the new era. Of course, this moderately developed regime must be controllable.

It is foreseeable that, with the joint support of the three countries, Chiang Kai-shek will mainly build coastal economic belts and build a modern industry on a preliminary scale. The peasant reforms, education reforms, social reforms, economic reforms, and military reforms that forced Chiang Kai-shek will eventually strengthen the strength of the Nanjing government properly, with the help of the three countries, to the extent that they barely oppose the southwest, or at least rule the river. .

After all, to develop China's huge market, only by giving the people a certain amount of wealth and social stability can the people have the money to buy goods.

After the economic development, in addition to defending the Nanjing government armed forces, the three countries will also receive the huge benefits they need, such as the interests of Xinjiang required by the Soviet Union, the interests of Outer Mongolia, and the interests of some coastal ports. Britain has the benefits of mining, road construction, and harvesting huge amounts of raw materials to resell industrial products.

Various accidental butterfly factors have changed the western countries' intentions to suppress China, and appropriately relaxed the reins, so that the Nanjing government can rise, develop the economy, and become a place of supply of raw materials and a place of dumping of commodities. It will be a very good choice. At least, at that time, the products of the Southwest will not be able to sell into the sphere of influence of the Nanjing government. What a wonderful alternative trade prospect.

"Daring's cause still needs a lot of help from everyone. I will organize a reception later, and I hope all ministers will show their appreciation."

"Hahaha ..."

A scene talked about the scene of joy.

Kunming, Southwest United Government

"Mr. Bullhee, nice to meet you."

Zhang Shusheng shook hands with the German ambassador to China, Bo Xi, and it is worth mentioning that three days ago, the Germans suddenly announced that they would move the German embassy in Shanghai to Kunming.

In the current strange political situation in China, the Southwestern government is nominally autonomous and neither supports nor opposes the Nanjing government. But the Germans moved the embassy to Kunming, but they showed a clear position.

"Dear President Zhang, we have the exact information ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Soviet, British and French, these despicable guys, they are rarely united to prepare for a huge Eastern plan."

As soon as Buxi came up, he said frankly that with a special mission, he was secretly authorized by the leader of the Socialist Party, Hitler.

"Eh? There is such a thing?" Zhang Shusheng looked calm, pretending to be calm, but he couldn't help laughing. The Minister of the Three Kingdoms' recent actions, he also heard some, but it was just a variety of cats. He believes that absolute power can defeat absolute conspiracy, and he is not too worried. He should always come. His huge butterfly has already fanned the storm. The original historical memory is obviously no longer applicable. The best way is wait.

"Of course, Germans never deceive friends."

Boerxi gave a gentleman ceremony and promised, "In order to fight back the Three Kingdoms, we also have a huge plan to discuss with you."
